true, and Bill O' Rielly, while I don't agree with the air he breathes, believes he's doing the same thing. Well, that's debatable as I think in 20 or so years when he's no longer a TV face he'll admit to being an act as much as Colbert's persona. The point is, regardless of whose side I'm on it doesn't make it right. Stewart did call this man on his lies and made him face his own hypocricy and shady dealings, but he didn't exactly give the man room to talk either. I just don't want to see Stewart going in the direction of relentless political ambushing instead of asking the questions that other interviewers are afraid to ask. Watch any random interview with Bill O' Rielly, and the very thing I get so frustrated about watching him I saw Stewart getting dangerously close to in this interview.
Don't get me wrong, I love Jon Stewart and watch his show nearly every Mon-Thurs and have for years. I would love to see more of the media have the balls he does. I think he handles his responcibility quite well, but he's always been the voice of reason against this very style of political bullcrappery. He didn't interview this guy, he just insulted him for 12 minutes. He took the oppurtunity to say all the things you've wanted to say to your middle school bully that you never had the guts to say, which is great for getting your point across, but the interview didn't have a lot of give and take that I expect from Jon.
